4. Nampally (Hyderabad) and Kacheguda: All the trains reaching Nampally and Kachiguda pass through either one of the stations mentioned above (Vikarabad, Secunderabad or ShadNagar) and we expect your cooperation to follow the instructions above and get down at the respective stations. In case of exceptions and the abhyasis reaching Nampally or Kachiguda need not worry, volunteers will be there around to guide you.

Road:

Kurnool/Bangalore-Hyderabad Highway Route: For all the Abhyasis travelling by buses via Bangalore, Kurnool, Anantpur region, the pick up point is planned at Asiana dhaba near Shadnagar toll plaza [Ashiana dhaba is 8 kms from ShadNagar toll plaza]. Please watch out for our volunteers. We have arranged shuttle service from Asiana Dhaba to the venue. Please notify the bus driver/attendant that you need to be dropped at Asiana Dhaba. This is a familiar location and majority of the long distance buses stop here for coffee break. Incase, you are unable to get down at Asiana Dhaba, please get down at Shamshabad bus stand, we have arranged shuttle service from this location as well to the venue. The distance is around 25 kms.

Other Routes: Abhyasis travelling from other routes are requested to go to Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station [MGBS]. Please board any public bus from MGBS to Shadnagar/Jadcherla and get down at Shamshabad bus stand; we have arranged shuttle service from Shamshabad bus stand to venue.

Private Transport: The multiple routes leading to the venue are pretty narrow and not completely tarred. We have put our best effort to bring them into shape and also planned optimally to leverage these multiple routes. As we all know, we are always graced with rain during the celebrations. These rains are expected to severe the condition of the road. The venue is also surrounded by several villages. Large number of ins and outs might dust the houses near the road and cause inconvenience to the villagers. Hence, We request all nearby centres to carpool or bus pool as much as possible. We expect your sincere cooperation. This will help us tremendously.
